Winning bumper Laid Back Luke dropped back to this trip at Fairyhouse and produced a very good run in a huge field behind Yes Sir Brian. Round Tower finished runner-up in this a year ago but has been well supported in five subsequent starts only to be beaten while Areema finished fourth last year ago but produced his best run to date over the track and trip in May. Mount Beckham has done reasonably well over further while the four-year-old Plain Talking made a promising start over timber at Navan last month. GIVE BATTLE, another from the younger brigade, caught the eye in no uncertain terms at Limerick last week and the fact that Charles Bryrnes brings him out again so quickly suggests he's ready to gain his first success.
